Check your inbox, you might have 20GB of extra SkyDrive storage

Loyal SkyDriveOneDrive customer? It looks like Microsoft is pulling an old page out of the playbook and giving out some free storage to users. Tips are coming in that there’s an email in inbox that offers you an extra 20GB of online storage. It’s in part to celebrate loyal customers and to notify customers of the upcoming name switch to OneDrive.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has given out geebees like candy. Early Outlook.com adopters were gifted a few pieces of extra storage last August. And a month ago 20GB of extra storage was given out to Windows Phone customers.

Today if you’re a “loyal” SkyDrive user you might get an email giving you 20GB of storage. We say might because last time they didn’t give me any extra storage. Don’t cry for me.

Let us know if you received an email giving out extra space for SkyDrive/OneDrive.

I got the offer. I am using Windows Phone 8 on L920+Windows 8.1 on 2 laptops. Perhaps this has something to do with "loyal"? The email I used itself isn't too old but it's a good play nonetheless. It's like the free Pandora for 2013. Once you get to no ads, you more likely to upgrade.

It's very annoying that Microsoft sees this 20G as a big deal when Samsung gave me 50G of Dropbox on my note 10.1 . Since I bought this wp8 (Lumia920) 7G of SkyDrive seems useless without external storage so I wonder when windows phone will be treated with some more attention. Without Nokia, the support in Nigeria or maybe Africa has been very bad

200 Gb for having a Surface 2
20 Gb for Microsoft Office 365 University
7 Gb for being a Windows phone user
20 Gb when Microsoft gave extra for Windows phone users
And now I might be getting 20 Gb more for being SkyDrive loyal.
Cool beans.

Hey, I didn't get the 20 GB they gave away on Christmas, I hope I do get it this time or I'll feel really left aside :S I have 3 Microsoft devices, and I'm a big supporter of MS, so if loyalty is what's at stake, they're doing it wrong :(

This is the third time I have been screwed out of extra Skydrive storage. All I can say is, glad my Nexus 5 will be here soon, with the free and permanent 10gb Gdrive upgrade I received. Sure beats trying to convince myself that 7gb is enough.

I hope to get an email...but nothing yet. LOYAL customer...I've had my primary Hotmail account since the week they opened up Hotmail to users long, long, long ago. I have 25Gb before they lowered it to 7Gb. I also got the 20Gb for Windows Phone user. However, that 20Gb for Windows Phone is only for one year.

Got a years extension on the "first" free 20GB a few days ago, through the Danish Nokia Facebook page, by sending in a screenshot of my homescreen ... not sure if they still run this campaign though...

I seem to never get these. I've been a Windows Phone user since the Samsung Focus and a Windows Mobile user since before that and I didn't get that bonus. I've had my SkyDrive for as long as i can remember, but no email for this one either.

I checked my marketing and communications setting and I haven't opted out of them, so I'm not sure who I have offended! :)

Posted this to a user in the forums and tipped it but in case its overlooked: Get 20GB storage for a year for buying a Nokia Lumia (certain models), between Jan 10-31 http://www.nokia.com/ph-en/20gbfree/

Havent got a code the first time (even though i use outlook from launch), haven't got the second one (even though i own 2 WP phones) and haven't recieved this one either. I do have a 25gb Skydrive (as i was smart enough to convert the 7GB back to 25GB when they changed it) but thats all i got it seems.

Yeah, it seems pretty random. Not as long an outlook user as you are but I also didn't get anything for owning a WP phone. Something's very wrong with this randomness of who is considered a loyal customer.

Wow, I already got 20 for being a WP user, another 20 for being an "enthusiast" (referring to my using the dev preview thingy?), and now potentially another 20? That's a lot of space! It's a good time to be a student who uses Microsoft stuff, lol.

I have been ALL in since I bought my Nokia Lumia 920 on day one of its release and I have yet to see any such email. They had the same offer the end of the year as well. Not sure what I have to do get the 20GB, but it would nice if it went to all the loyal customers like me.

As a day one WP adopter I never received extra storage. As a day one Outlook.com user I haven't received any extra storage. I have a feeling those if us that haven't received these early adopter perks will probably continue to be overlooked. I have no problem though as I still haven't burned through my 25GB on SkyDrive and I'm sure by the time I do capacity will expand again.

Didn't get an email but just checked and am now sitting on 45GB. Not sure how, fairly sure I had 7GB to start with, then got the 20GB extra about a year ago after receiving an email.
But 45GB? AWESOME. Plenty of space for my single OneNote file to grow.

I have a surface, Xbox 360, two Windows phone, and used windows 8 since day one of the dev preview, updated to the preview of windows 8.1 in the first week, and running Windows 8 Pro with WMC. Had an hotmail account forever (upgraded it to outlook really early) and I haven't gotten any of these deals!?!

Not sure what qualifies me while some of you have not received your upgrade. I bought a Samsung Focus WP7 on day one of the platform release. I bought a Lumia 920 the week it came out and then a Lumia 1020 the week it came out.

Up to 65GB now. They are sucking us in to where we get used to all this storage. Come 2015 they are going to hit me with a bill.

I am a lil disappointed I did not receive the WP bump. Been a platform user since day 1. Not bitching, just lamenting - I use it more than daily. I do wish they offered TB level capacity subscriptions. I hope I get the loyalty bump, if this is real.

I switched to outlook.com since in beta and they never even gave me 20GB. Used SkyDrive since before it was cool and didn't get any bonus. Got the 20gb for Windows Phone last month and hoping to get some now.

Last time they screwed up and I never got the 20GB storage either. More, my mother got the email...and she's only using WP because I gave her my old Nokia L800.

Although I don't use SkyDrive on Windows Phone that much, I do use it a lot for Word documents. Lets see if they're screwing up this time too. Since it's this "new" Microsoft we're talking about, I'm betting "yet, they will".

And that's why there's a thing called "Google Drive" (with 15GB instead o 7GB) that I can use instead of SkyDrive and a company called "Google" to where I can turn to every time Microsoft screws up. Guess who ends up losing? MS. Oops.

I didn't get an email but have a 20GB "ethusiast bonus" in SkyDrive. Someone above mentioned this being for WP but I haven't bought a new phone since November 2012 and this was not there a month or so ago when I was looking to not renew my 50GB paid because I have the 200GB from the Surface 2 purchase.
